A friend of mind managed to snag a CD94 champagne ( or gold ) about 8 months ago. They seem to be pretty scarce and fetch big bucks. I think he was looking for a long time and managed to get one from Brazil if I remember correctly. How is the sound quality compared to more modern CDP. They look awesome and I'd love to get me one for the collection.

Hey DearSp,
Recently I did listening sessions on the new cd player, but over the 80/90 years this was the reference.
Inside Marants there is a Philips CD 960. While Marantz black or gold there is no difference...only the colours
only two defects are:
- try open close
- RCA analog on rear if u used more to test more cable connect...

Still have the one that gave me hifiitis:
Marantz 2245 w/ wc-22
And,
Marantz 2235. I have a beautiful 5' long, 1" thick piece of Black Walnut in waiting
Marantz 2225 w/ wc-22 (2)
Marantz 6200
There have been many others, but I have only kept the best. (WAF)

Just picked up a Marantz 2325 J4. Does anybody know what the significance of a J4 model is (something about accepting different voltage)? Also, how rare are the J4 models and how many were made? Cheers!!
